#threegoodthings from today:

1. Healthy #strawberry #seedlings taking root and beginning to mature.

2. #Haskap #berries are more abundant and riper after I pruned the bush at the end of winter.

3. Pre-made, pre-portioned frozen beans, rice and seasoning staples are awesome for a healthy brunch when I want something to go with fresh cut or frozen #vegetables, topped with salsa, curry or soup.

Having some coffee on the deck. Overlooking my backyard gardening work station in the garden. I have more transplanting to do, after visiting my Uncle in the hospital.

Hydroponic spinach is going well after a lot of babying.

The tatsoi, poblanos, and pumpkins are doing good too.

A single musk melon is... problematic, which is why I direct sowed about a dozen the other day. Let's hope for at least one mate.

It's pouring rain outside. Forecast calls for more rains tomorrow. My rain barrels & buckets will be filled well. Sunshine returns on Wednesday.
I'll thinning out this large pot, full of mixed carrots & some self seeded tomatoes, on Wednesday morning before going to work. I wasn't expecting that many carrot seeds to germinate. I used a bag of 3 year old seeds to sow this pot.
I grow all my root vegetables in big pots for easier harvesting. All my yams & potatoes are growing out of large felted bags. I have beetroot & turnips growing together out of a large Rubbermaid bin.

Major work in the #garden today. #Tomato #seedlings were late getting started, so they are just now getting into big pots. #Tropical plants like #dahlias, #mandevilla and #bouganvillea are finally in their #summer pots, mulched and fertilized. Our potted #JapaneseMaple arboretum is glowing. The Night-blooming Cereus, Princess of the Night #Cactus is out, too. Time to rest and enjoy the view.
